The Evolution of Toys

It is really hard to know exactly when and how the different baby gear is used when you are standing in a baby store, so you register for it all! Your house looks more like something out of Chuck E Cheese than a home (not sure if you have seen Chuck E Cheese in the news lately, but it certainly attracts some people you wouldn't want in or around your home).

My mom made the comment when I was registering that so many of the baby products are more for the adults than the baby. She was referring to this baby spa bath tub thing at the time. I have found her comment to be true about a lot of products out there.

Through the different stages of L's infancy we found we had one go-to toy for each stage. I wanted to share with you these toys over a series of posts. There is no need to have more than one of these types of toys per stage. The biggest thing in common with most toys is the musical part. L really seemed to react when we played music.

There are so many different activity mats with themes. They are very easy to move from room to room. She loved hearing the music and watching the mobile, but have the replacement batteries ready to go because the mobile drains them quickly. Here is L in action!

About Me

I have a 6 month old daughter, we will call her L. I have loved having her in my life! To be completely honest, however, my motherly instinct only kicked in a little, the rest is a constant learning game.
I am creating this blog to hopefully help other moms/future moms who feel the same by sifting through the multitude of products out there and making you feel as mentally prepared as possible for the wonderful addition to your family. These are just some of the things that worked best for me. I promise to be brutally honest and not sugar coat you soon-to-be-moms so you know what to expect. Hopefully, I can make you laugh every once in a while too.
I am also very price conscious and hope to pass on some of the bargains and rip offs I have discovered.
I am excited to share my experiences so I can make an easy transition to parenthood for my followers (if I have any :)).
Here goes nothing...
